Big mistake. Huge.

The Rutgers University professor who was doxed, harassed and threatened after being targeted by Turning Point USA has safely departed the country with his family.

Their tickets for their original flight were mysteriously canceled after they cleared security last night.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

This week, our colleague Dr. Mark Bray came under attack by Turning Point USA’s Rutgers chapter for his public scholarship. Rutgers AAUP-AFT and the Rutgers Adjunct Faculty Union condemn this campaign and stand in solidarity with our colleagues. Read our full statement here: https://loom.ly/BDXasRY

you can’t even occupy an american city without getting laughed at anymore, because of croak

Thanks, New Yorker

Update from the war zone in Portland.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

This strikes me as pretty bad

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

The Tribune’s food reporter ate at every local restaurant on Redwood Road. Here are her favorites. I’ve done it. After a year and 10 months, I can finally say I’ve eaten at or gotten takeout from every local restaurant on the Salt Lake County stretch of Redwood Road.

It’s always so obvious that Pam Bondi would rather be yelling at a waiter than doing whatever she’s doing

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Got my first ICE call from a friend being detained this morning. They are Asian, here legally but they were detained for hours anyway and then forced to pay $600 before they were let go. Corruption from top to bottom.

Claim: rioters attacked ICE
Truth: ICE rushed at unarmed protesters standing on a patch of grass

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

Israel has killed more than 100 Palestinians since Hamas agreed on Friday to release all captives as part of the latest U.S. ceasefire proposal.

Kind of feels like feds occupying our city for a month, killing one person and shooting another while attacking neighborhoods with chemical weapons and kidnapping hundreds of people already counts as a civil war whether the Guard arrives or not, but what do we know?

"Fuck ICE" is a patriotic sentiment. Perhaps the most patriotic in this moment.

oh look the fears of everyone who understands data privacy are valid

Portland never stops being Portland.

I was told not to teach a class on the intellectual histories of Zionism and Anti-Zionism next year - not because they doubted I could teach it fairly, but because it would attract too many politicians scrutinizing the syllabus.

A society where that is a valid fear is no longer fully democratic.
